When Cumulus is (re-)started, it adds up the corresponding daily totals in dayfile.txt to generate the figures for the displays within the view menu, and then (for the web tags) adds today's total so far to it. For the view menu 'This year' screen it calculates the total for the calendar year, for the <#ryear> web tag it calculates the total for the rainfall season starting with the month set on the station settings screen. | |||
The built-in dayfile.txt editor is used if it is necessary to amend the daily totals; the built-in all-time (or monthly records) editor(s) in Cumulus is used it is necessary to regenerate the extreme records from dayfile.txt; see [[#My_station_invented_some_rain_that_didn.27t_really_occur.2C_and_I_want_to_set_it_to_zero_.28or_some_other_figure.29 |FAQ about correcting incorrect rainfall displays]]. | |||
